grl-12 encodes a hedgehog-like protein, with an N-terminal signalsequence and a C-terminal Ground-like (Grl) domain; the Grl domain ispredicted to form a cysteine-crosslinked protein involved inintercellular signalling, and it has subtle similarity to the N-terminalHedge domain of HEDGEHOG proteins.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
